Your's Truly

Yours truly ...

When hopes are bleak
Opportunities sleek

When despair rules
Misery the tool

When appreciation is gone
Ridicule is on

Used
Battered
Tattered
Forlorn
Forgone 

Lime Lights replaced
Spots of darkness covered

Standing in eternal time
Arms stretched 
I behold

Come seek refuge
In abandoned temples of Love

The bell still rings
The light still glimmers

I pour the oils of self
Keeping the flame ablaze

No questions asked
No shame inflected 

Come home
For your hustling emotions
Need some rest !!
